Berkeley Blowback: Milo Book Sales Soar 12,740% Overnight
Zero Hedge ^ | 2/2/17 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/02/2017 7:42:02 PM PST by markomalley

Following the violent anti-free-speech protests in Berkeley, California last night - sparked by cal's special snowflakes hurt feelings at the potential words that would come out of Milo Yiannopoulos' mouth during a sold-out event - it appears America's curiousity has been piqued.

Sales of Milo's book have increased 12,740% overnight sending it rocketing from 642nd to 5th ranked best-seller on Amazon. Pretty impressive considering the book is not even released until March 14th 2017.

Source: Amazon.com

When the book was first announced last year, a twitter storm also sparked panic-buying of the book.

So despite all the best efforts of the liberal intelligentsia to shut down his 'free-speech' last night - hurting the feelings of 600 conservatives who were looking forward to the event - we suspect a lot more than 600 Americans are now about to get a crash course in how Milo thinks.

Ah, yes, perhaps THE most consistent characteristic of libs is: They fail to foresee the consequences of their actions. Of course, that is often due to their 2nd most consistent characteristic: Failure to learn the correct lessons form the past.

Future orientation is racist. I've seen that numerous times and it was not in The Onion.

Combine that with history beginning anew every day when they walk out the door, and you get belligerent oddities such as those on display of late.

Planning is obviously not their forte. They are being directed, though, so there is planning. Sometimes, it's as blatant as some jerk with a megaphone. Now, there's the person of interest in such a gathering.

Their planning is pretty much being done by a rich old Nazi. We know how that turned out.

Your comment needs to go viral.

In a sane world, the left would be mercilessly mocked and laughed at for their erroneous and excessive application of Godwin’s Law to anyone who disagrees with them while they dance to the tune of a genuine Nazi whose wealth, all his life, was built from human suffering.

600 graduate degree programs
238,700 students
198,300 employees
1.7 million living alumni
61 Nobel laureates
20,000 UC extension courses
430,000 jobs supported
$46.3 billion contributed to California economy
Secures $7 in federal and private dollars for every $1 in research funding provided by the state of California
She issued a statement in conjunction with UC Chancellors regarding President Trumps EO:

This riot was in the works well before Milo....his appearance provided the excuse.

Oh, I’m sure he’s in on the planning as well. Only an old fart would tell his flying monkeys to try to burn down THE capital of “student protest.”

Trump needs to extradite him to Russia. Tomorrow. Let them have their fun.

I’ve never read anything by Yianapolis, but anything that can turn snowflakes homicidal has got to be a good read. Yet another thing to girlcott, along with Sabra Humus.

That’s the kind of push back that just warms my heart. Let’s be sure the news gets disseminated far and wide.

Yes, he is cute and quite funny. I could easily live without the cussing, but then Ann Coulter swears worse than a sailor when she’s not on TV or radio.

Milo and Ann would be a hoot together.

1st time I ever heard him speak on Tucker last night.

Very smart guy!

The left loves true free speech as much as they love the 2nd Amendment.

Milo should sue the school, as should the woman who was pepper-sprayed. The left only understands dollars, their one and only god.

I have a gay conservative friend who would love him — plan on introducing him to Milo.

I can not find a single article in the media discussing why the police allowed the rioting.

Allegations Surface on Twitter that Riot Police Ordered to ‘Stand Down’ in UC Berkeley Protests

That article mentions the stand down order as a rumor. Don't ask, don't tell? If anyone's doing a tick tock on events that night, they've yet to run the story. Or the story's been spiked.

Very handsome. Very charismatic. Very funny.

Maybe God will convict him to change his lifestyle. It would be a blessing to get his smarts, etc., into the gene pool.
